Has phonetic alphabet

very nice. personally i think its better than "Dictionary Anywhere" as it can do pop up definitions too... but it doesnt suffer from the issue of not being able to define a word because the double-click selected the space after. also, if it cant find a definition, it leaves a "more" link to quickly bring up another tab to a dictionary site of your choice (i chose "Urban Dictionary")! just remember to go thru the options and pick your search engine...

Rarely works for non-root word forms, and definitions are often pointless.

Ok, I can't stand this app anymore. Really? You can't find the definition for the word "rhetoric"? This thing cant find anything. I dont know what database it is using, but its missing basic words. Time to look for a new plugin.

Doesn't find in most cases when I want to use it.

could be really good. I liked how simple it was, and the UI was clean when it displayed the definition.

however, probably more than half of the words that I actually need to search a definition for, don't show any results on this extension! the majority of the time I end up having to google it, which shows a definition fine. if there was just a wider range of words in this extension, it would be good. until then, I'm going to have to uninstall.

This would have been an easy 5-stars if we could only add a key to activate the search function. I mean, we all double-click stuff all the time, but how many times have you meant to check the definition of the text rather than just copy it or something?

Works like a charm.

After using this extension for more than a year I moved on from it cuz of how it looked in dark mode. But came back to it just after a month ( cuz this one hardly ever shows me "definition not found" ) and was really delighted to find the theming issue solved.

Lets you select what dictionary source it polls, which means it also works through a VPN whose dictionary requests get blocked by google. Extra bonus points for light/dark theme choice!

Latest update seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

does not work. need more implimention

searching algorithm is slow.

Used to work most of the time. Now I need to google the definition 95% of the time.
